About: I’ve spent the last 10 years caring for dogs of all kinds, including reactive pups and those needing medication. I truly love animals and take the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs. Working from home allows me to be flexible and fully present—your pet gets real attention, not just a quick visit. I work from home so I have to ability to step away to care for people’s pets. I am also available most days and times It’s more than just walking dogs or making sure they have food and water. I want to make sure they know they are cared for emotionally as well and get some energy out by playing and interacting
“Traisaun does a great job with our fur kids. We can always tell how good of a time they had by how excited they are when we get back. Even though we were gone for the weekend, they barely acted like we had gone to the store, which means they barely missed us not being here. Even the rabbit, who doesn’t like everyone, looks around for Traisaun after he leaves. Aside from being great with our fur kids, Traisaun is very reliable and trustworthy. We will continue to hire Traisaun as long as we can!”
“Tyler was very nice. Our almost 4 year old Husky Mix liked Tyler immediately. His personality helped me relax and feel comfortable with the process of hiring a house sitter. He was very good with communication, which I really appreciated. This was a meet & greet after which Tyler house sat for us for a few hours. It went really well.”
About: I've cared for various kinds of pets over my whole life and at one point was able to become an AKC trained dog trainer! I've since changed jobs to a patient sitter at a nearby hospital and miss the new animals being in my life. I'd love to get a chance to meet your pets and help care for them! I work 3 inconsistent days from either 630am-pm or 630pm-am throughout the week but can make changes as needed to work up to 3 days a week for a client outside of that! I feel that all pets have a wide range of personalities and needs but the important thing is to work with them to achieve their physical and emotional needs! I have 2 cats with vastly different attitudes and I make sure to tailor my care for them in specific ways like being a safety person for my cat while she's eating or training my partners cat to ask for attention and treats more politely. When it comes to dogs I have a training in positive reinforcement and dog behaviors and will try to engage with breed specific enrichment on top of whatever schedule the pet parents have for their dog.
“Aidan housesit with our two cats. He was responsive and took great care of them. He sent pictures, kept the house clean, and helped us take out the trash since we came back after trash day. I would recommend him and have him sit with our cats again!”
About: I have grown up my whole life with a dog just until very recently. When my dog passed away, I started offering my services around my neighborhood and continued to connect with our furry friends by walking them around the neighborhood. I have always had a deep love for animals (especially dogs) and love to spend time with them. I found this app and thought it would be a great way to continue to spend time and take care of them! I am currently off for the summer. I am in nursing school taking some time off until the next semester starts. I can work anytime the semester is out. I am going back to school August 24th but would love to sit on the weekends if needed. My home has a built in invisible fence for the dogs, I love petting dogs and playing tug of war or just sitting next to them while I’m reading etc.
“Josh is just wonderful with our two giant, high maintenance dogs. He is caring and extremely responsive. He pays great attention to detail and makes us feel that we have nothing to worry about when leaving our home and pets in his hands. Thank you Josh!!”
“Mick is caring, knowledgeable, and patient. They intuitively knew how to care for and respond to my sometimes shy and fearful older dog. They were also able to be flexible and available time wise. Which was also extremely helpful. I felt like my dog Herman was in great hands. I highly recommend Mick.”
“Chloe took care of my cat in my house for 3 days and was very accommodating and attentive, providing daily updates and pictures and leaving everything neat and tidy for my return. I had peace of mind from the start knowing Chloe was going to housesit my boy!”
“We recently moved to the Plum area and our house sitter of a few years lives back in our old neighborhood, this is just too far for her to commute. We take trips pretty frequently and were in search of someone local we could trust our 2 dogs, cat and home to. We couldn’t be more grateful to Erin, so was so wonderful to work with! She was responsive, always sending photos, super sweet, great with all of our pets and we felt super comfortable having her stay in our home. We will definitely be scheduling with her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone in the area looking for help with their pets!”

“Nicole is nothing short of AMAZING! We were so nervous to leave our anxious Great Pyrenees girl for the first time since we’ve had her in 4 years. Not to mention, have a stranger stay in our home. With Nicole, there was absolutely no need to fret! From the time she walked through the door at our meet and greet, Lucy was at ease with her! Knowing this made it a little easier to leave her. We were concerned because, as a Pyr, Lucy barks A LOT and LOUDLY. Nicole was so patient with her. Lucy also gets anxious during thunderstorms and Nicole helped her to feel safe and calm when it stormed. Nicole kept in communication with us the whole time we were gone with text updates, pictures and videos. She responded to any messages I sent her right away. Nicole was also incredibly respectful of our home and kept it so clean and tidy that when we arrived home we never would have known she was here except for the handwritten notes she left about Lucy’s care. We’re grateful beyond words to have found such an awesome person to care for our sweet girl in our home where she is most comfortable. 100/10 would recommend!”
“Gordon was outstanding! He took the time to get to know our dog very well, which gave us so much peace of mind. He went above and beyond—bringing in all our packages from the porch, putting out the trash on garbage day, and taking care of the little things without being asked. We’re so grateful for his care and attention to detail.”
“Becca took awesome care of my sick puppy! With all the special instructions for him as he was healing, she was understanding, flexible when needed and took great care of him! My cat also got lots of love too! I highly recommend Becca for any pet needs— she will take excellent care of them!”

“Sydney has been a lifesaver. I have a 65lb AmStaff with separation anxiety. When I go out of town or gone for the whole day I needed someone who I trusted to stop by to walk and be with Charlie. I met Sydney several years ago and she has helped me so many times. Charlie loves her, is attached to her when I’m not around, and I know I can trust her in my house but more importantly with my dog. Anyone looking for a reliable dog walker/caregiver Sydney is the best choice. Reliable, quick to respond, respectful of your dog and house, you won’t be disappointed.”
